  • Split N Trim RNAseq data

    Hello everyone,

    I have more of a general pre-processing question. We are doing some small viral genome sequencing. The virus is ssRNA (coronaviridae) and we have been using the RNAseq method on the PGM and I was just wondering if I'm doing the pre-processing correctly.

    I have been treating the reads like genomic DNA for the processing, which is just mapping to the reference and marking duplicates. Is this correct? Should I be looking for splits? I know that viruses have different splices to make early and late proteins, but not really these two genes make one protein splices.

    The more I thought about it the more unsure I became, does anyone have an opinion?

    It seems prudent to map with a splice-aware aligner, just to be on the safe side.

      Hi,

      simply tell us with mapper you used. If you used bowtie2 it should be fine...

        Hi everyone! Thank you for the input, I am using TMAP(modified BWA) and BWA. So I have not used bowtie 2 before but it is a splice aware mapper correct? So I have 2 votes for using a splice aware vs a non-splice aware. Correct?

          Add BBMap to the list if you are looking at alternates.

            No, Bowtie2 is not splice-aware.

              Yep, actually my mistake. I wanted to mention STAR (based on Bowtie2) which is splice-aware...
              You can also use TopHat but, to my knowledge, bwa is not splice-aware...

                What do those two sentence parts have to do with each other? Tophat is splice-aware and uses bowtie2 as its mapping engine.

                  skbrimer mentioned he used bwa, which is not splice aware. And I spoke about TopHat (and STAR in a previous answer) which are both splice-aware... I did not mean that TopHat was based on bwa...

                    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                    by seqadmin


                    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
